Hostal de la Gavina GL - the Leading Hotels of the World

Worst hotel that we’ve ever been to! It’s a complete dump and looks NOTHING like their website. The reception area is old and underwhelming & the rooms are even worst! This isn’t a luxury hotel at all!! It’s smells disgusting and our room smelled musty. We’d never go back there again. Save your money! We ended up eating at Villa Mas and visiting a nicer hotel for food, drinks and ambiance! The food was inedible at Hostel La Gavina. This hotel is a 2 at best. Look at the beat up furniture and hideous decor in our room. What a disgrace!

Old school charm and spanish grandeur. The gardens and pool area enjoy great views. The Candelight restaurant and also the Garbi pool restaurant are both excellent. Services is formal and staff staff will do their best to help with anything you may need.

A lovely hotel in a beautif setting. We had a very good classic room with a balcony and a view over both sides of the promentory. The staff were lovely and we liked the traditional design. So much care must have been taken when it was built to incorporate Catalan craftsmanship with a dash of modernity. The bathroom was excellent with a spacious shower. There were several restaurants to choose from. It was a very relaxing week and we hope to return. One of our best holidays.

Thank you for a wonderful stay; ALL the staff were charming, helpful and discreet, having known the hotel since 1950 just for drinks and lunch, it was a joy to stay and not be disappointed, to stay in a hotel that still keeps the feeling of how the old style top hotels are with the great twist of bring it up 2024 just made it a joy.

Wonderful spot to return to after 30 years. Few changes over that period. Still the same spectacular comfortable rooms, swimming pool and unique location. However the presence of russians overwhelmed our enjoyment. Seemed as if half the guests were russian. The hotel flies the flag of Ukraine prominently in support however they allow russians to disrupt the peace and quiet of this beautiful spot.

After the hustle and bustle of Barcelona, we felt like we'd stepped into a world of serenity and grace as we entered the lobby of the Hostal de la Gavina. I am truly lost as to how to properly describe the beauty of this hotel and its picturesque location. The public and private rooms of the hotel all combine perfectly maintained antique furniture, rugs and tapestries while complementing these with modern updated amenities. It is easy to feel just like Elizabeth Taylor, a famed frequent guest, as you enjoy a drink in the paneled bar or front patio, breakfast in beautiful dining room or its adjacent patio, lunch beside or at the pool overlooking the sea below, walk the 2km paved path from the hotel along the sea to a cove at the end of the resort line. We stayed for three nights in two rooms - one a classic with terrace overlooking the breakfast patio and the other a sea view room overlooking the beach. Both had wonderful closet space and bathrooms with showers and tubs. The beds are very comfortable with contemporary mattresses/pillows and antique frames. The breakfast is a lovely buffet that includes a custom omelette bar. The staff are kind and helpful at every point. Our 20-something daughters used the spa and gym, since it was raining one afternoon and found both great. Easy walk down to the wide beach, which has a variety of rentals if you are interested. The hotel is well situated for day trips to Girona or other nearby beaches. We visited Tossa and Llafranc and were so happy we stayed at the Gavina with the Sant Pol beach below and hidden coves along the path. The town was quiet and not a party hipster scene, but we enjoyed that. Absolutely heavenly stay.
